Looking at some of the other threads, such as video games, such as what's on TV, who's the interest in People this week, what should we be able to talk about when we meet someone new?
I guess just follow the saying, "Avoid religion and politics" because that might be a little divisive.
Although, it could be interesting, "Well, I've always wanted to visit Florence and what are your views on abortion?"
"I've been to Florence but it was long ago. Wonderful air museum. They had this spy super Connie out at to greet you if not draw you into the place from the highway, a B-66, why, they even had a DASH!
As far as the other, that is a matter for the woman and who she wishes to tell."
Well, you said you had a profile on a dating site, right? I don't do online dating, but from my understanding there is a list of hobbies and interests; well, you can try those and work from there. Like if someone is into traveling and so are you, then try talking about that. If you both like animals, talk about pets or a nature documentary you've seen or even some funny animal stories you know.
Just curious, how old are you?
I have a hypothesis about something that I am currently playing around with.
Are we all that stunted that we don't know how to make informal, interesting talk anymore?
Travel
weather
sports
local happenings
music
films/tv
gardening
restaurants/food
cars
Believe it or not, one of the things I try to avoid in conversations is marksmanship. I, by accident, brought up the subject last night while talking with the husband of a friend dancer, and it was not a very easy talk to do. Perhaps because I don't talk about it much or probably because I am trying to have other things in my life to relate with than just my military past.
As far as sports go, that tends to be my pacifying distraction conversation piece. Ie, when people are getting argumentative, uneasy, or the like, I drop into the conversation, "Hey, how about those Nicks!".
But long story short, what should we really be truly interested in to be able to talk about? For the list given, I could study that, probably talk convincingly about it........but it would all be an act. That's part of my improv actress training, get up to date on current popular culture to be able to play what the audience suggests.
Sure, could do it convincingly, but for a lover, would really prefer to do it sincerely.
NOW, to that other question, let me just say I remember watching Neil Armstrong walking on the moon on live TV.
